Everything tastes and smells awful to me Posted: 02-17-08 22:48pm
Hey guys, I really hope you can help me.
I recently got over a really bad cold and
for the past few days I've noticed food
smells and tastes really rancid to me. At
first I thought it was just the cold, and
I tried to ignore it, but the cold is
basically gone and I still can't eat
anything. It seems like it's even worse
with starchy foods. Any type of bread
smells like rotten vinegar, and leaves the
same taste in my mouth if I try to eat it.
I looked up the problem on google. I'm
not the only one with this issue, however
the other people with this condition say
they have had it for YEARS, and their
doctors can't figure out what's wrong with
them! Other sites say that phantom smells
could be an indication of a brain tumor!
I'm really scared.
It's bad enough that I can't eat the foods
I love because they seem disgusting to me,
but now I'm also worried that this will
never go away! Thinking about not being
able to eat bread or cookies, or pop tarts
ever again makes me want to cry. Can
someone please tell me what's going on
with my nose?
